German left Venezuela 5 years ago, before the economic, social and political situation seriously deteriorated. His reasons for leaving were more related to a love of travel than the situation in the country that has caused many Venezuelans to leave in the past few years.
After some time in the USA, German was thinking to go to South Africa where he new people, but his girlfriend persuaded him to follow her to Brisbane, Australia around 4 years ago, where he studied English and then Cookery. After breaking up with his girlfriend, he decided to make a new start in Tasmania, a place he didn't know a lot about but he was able to continue his studies here and got a job in a kitchen a month after arriving.
